Synopsis
A Palestinian surgeon drives home after a long night shift, but little does she know that a commute through a desolate West Bank road will change her forever.
Director’s Statement
Coyotes was born out of true stories and an urgent question: what happens when one’s humanity is pushed into a proverbial iron cage, an impossible corner? I grew up in Palestine, under a brutal Israeli occupation designed to weaponize our vulnerabilities and erode our will — through violence, surveillance, coercion, and fear. As I struggle to cope with an unremitting campaign of ethnic cleansing and genocide directed at my people and my homeland, I felt compelled to create a cinematic response to a system built on layers of injustice and double standards. Set over one night, Coyotes is a neo-noir thriller that explores the inevitable outcome of impunity and domination.
